"He has no good intentions." Zhao Kui snorted coldly and said, "Does he really think I, Zhao, am a fool? He's just a judicial officer, so he's implicated in very few places. On the other hand, I, the provincial governor, am implicated in many places. Do you believe he will report me when he gets back?"
When Master Chen Gang heard what Zhao Kui said, he nodded and said nothing more. It was enough for his master to understand.
Zhao Kui sighed unwillingly and said, "Now that Your Majesty has arrived in Shandong, people are panicking and everyone is looking for a way out. Zhou Fusheng's actions are understandable."
"Governor Zhao Yan is in hiding, so it's easy to imagine what Zhou Fusheng is planning to do. The question is, what should I do?"
Master Chen Gang glanced at Zhao Kui and said, "This matter is both difficult and simple. What Zhou Fusheng said just now is not without reason. Your Excellency should write a memorial and submit it truthfully."
After hearing what Chen Gang said, Zhao Kui hesitated and said, "Do you really want to sue Prince Lu's Mansion and Qufu?"
"At this point, we can only let them take the lead." Chen Gang said with a smile: "As for what the court will do in the end, that is not something we can know. But I think it will most likely be left unresolved. At least the adults will not be in any great danger. If the people above are treated leniently, it makes no sense to punish the people below severely.
"Okay, I'll write it right away." Zhao Kui gritted his teeth, stood up and walked towards the back hall.
He wanted to write a memorial to absolve himself of responsibility and tell His Majesty who was causing the rebellion in Shandong.
At the same time, in Jeju Prefecture.
Zhu Youxiao came to the outside of the city and began to provide relief to the victims and distribute food to them.
Countless amounts of food were distributed from Zhu Youxiao's hands, and at the same time, convoys transporting food also set out from Jeju City.
The transportation of grain for the garrison in Jeju City was originally supervised by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the grain was sent to various parts of Jeju in a mighty manner.
Along the way, people carried large bronze gongs and banged them, shouting, "Your Majesty cares deeply about Shandong and has personally come to Jeju to provide disaster relief. Your Majesty is kind-hearted and has opened the granaries to distribute food to the disaster-stricken areas!"
At the same time, the soldiers also began to help the people with disaster relief, rebuilding houses, and digging up corpses and burning them on the spot.
Doctors from all over the country also began to go out and treat the people and deliver medicine.
These were all paid for by Zhu Youxiao. Of course, these were not paid by Zhu Youxiao alone, there were people who paid for him behind the scenes.
In Jeju City, there is Hongsheng Grain Shop.
This is a very big business in Jeju City. It is well-known and everyone knows it.
But such a big deal has come to an end today.
A eunuch in red stood at the door with a smile on his face and a amiable look.
But behind him, the wolf-like and ferocious Jinyiwei were very scary and looked chilling.
All the people in Hongsheng Grain Shop were escorted out and forced to kneel on the side, not daring to breathe.
Soon someone brought out a chair and placed it next to the eunuch.
The eunuch in red was Chen Hong. After he sat down, he glanced at the kneeling shop assistants from Hongsheng Grain Shop, then waved to someone not far away and said, "Bring the shopkeeper over here."
Soon, the shopkeeper was brought over and knelt down in front of Chen Hong.
Glancing up and down at the shopkeeper, Chen Hong said slowly, "Name?"
"My lord, I am Kong Liansheng." The shopkeeper, who was kneeling on the ground, said hurriedly.
Chen Hong nodded, reached out and took an account book from the person next to him. After quickly flipping through it, he asked, "Where are the other account books?"
"My dear father-in-law, this is the only account book we have in this shop." Kong Liansheng said in confusion, "There are no other account books."
"I have always stayed in the deep palace and have never been out on errands. This time I am following His Majesty out. This is also my first time on errand. If I fail in this mission, I am afraid I will not be able to face His Majesty."
"Now that you don't tell the truth, it will make things very difficult for our family." Chen Hong looked at Kong Liansheng and said in an embarrassed tone.
Kong Liansheng shuddered, but he really didn't dare to tell the truth. If he told the truth, he couldn't bear the responsibility. Not only would he lose his life, but the lives of his entire family would also be lost.
"I really don't know what you are talking about, sir. There is indeed only this one account book here." Kong Liansheng said gritting his teeth.
Nodding, Chen Hong smiled and said, "We won't make things difficult for you, but there's one thing you need to help us with. Tell me, where is your food? You don't have that much food in your granary."
